Explanation:

The use of SINCE :

  • Since + a point of time.
  • To express an action which begins in the past and continues in the present.
  • Since is used to mention the starting point of action or event. It refers to when the action began.
  • Since is mostly used in the present perfect tense or past perfect tense.

Example :

 since 4 am, since Monday, since December, since 1973, since I was late, since the beginning of the program.

The use of FOR :

  • For + a period of time.
  • To measure the duration of time or how long an action lasts.
  • For has both a starting point and an endpoint.
  • For is used in different tenses.

Examples :

for 45 minutes, for an hour, for five days, for 2 months, for 6 years, for a long time, for ever.
